can someone suggest a setup for my tc5 ft? the car will never see competition it's just for fun on an asphalt street. it has a mamba max 5700 and 3 cell lipo. i would like the car to handle like a competition race car. should i run foam or rubber? and why? suggestions on gearing, but i would like to stick with the 48 pitch gears.

There are two o-rings just like the ones in your shocks.They go in the out-drives before you put in the dog-bone/cvd.It acts as a cushion also.

you are temping that low at 4.1?!?! im impressed... I'm at 4.7 on carpet and temps are in the 150 range. I've got about as much speed on the straights as anyone else. Maybe the timing ring is in the wrong position? that really the only thing I can think of.

Dasupacat1 - Having your rear toe on the Hub will generaly give you more steering in the middle of the turn. It is more suitable with foam tires while having all your rear toe inboard won't give as much rotation in the middle of the turn and should be better with rubber tires

Just got a one- way for the front of the TC-5. I know it's problaby in here somewhere, I just don't feel like looking through all the pages of posts, ok here's the question, where do the included o-rings go that come with the one-way kit? And what is the difference between the top plate that comes with the kit and a ITF top plate? We run rubber tired 13.5 with lipo on carpet and I noticed that the set-ups on Associated web site for rubber tired carpet call for the ITF top plate. Thank you (in advance) for the help!!!
